While looking back on her own mixed family, Kourtney remembers having grown up with Caitlyn as Steparent and the “controlling” and “authoritarian” manner that she says that Jenner has a parent of their family after marrying Maman Kris.
Mixing families is never an easy feat, and few people know it better than Kourtney Kardashian.
While she makes it easy with her big brood mixed alongside husband Travis Barker And their seven children, growing up in a mixed family was not exactly the Kardashian’s eldest cup.
While appearing on the last episode of Sister Khloé Kardashian‘s Khloe in Wonderland podcastKourtney thought about the difficulties of getting along with the Steparent Caitlyn Jenner – Who they both called “Bruce” when they were talking about the past – after Kris’ mom’s divorce of their late father, Robert Kardashian.
“I think something Bruce has done so well, or I can speak for myself, but Bruce has never tried to be a father,” said Khloé. “And I always appreciated and respected this.”

“It was not my experience,” Kourtney replied, while thinking about their unique family dynamics. “” But that may be why it has become your experience … So, grateful for you. “”
“Really?” Asked a surprised khloé. “Did he try to be a dad for you?”
“Not dad, but tried to control and authoritarian, and I told myself that some friends cannot come,” recalls Kourtney.
Khloé proposed that, although Kourtney’s experience may not have been the best in growing, it may also have helped to inform the way she works as a mother-in-law for Barker children now.

The fiancé of their late father, Denise, is however an example of someone from Kourtney and Khloé said that things have done the mother-in-law, scoring Khloe in label and teaching girls how to be “young women”.
“I think that having this really positive experience with Denise really helped me too,” said Kourtney.
“Is that why you didn’t connect with Bruce?” Asked Khloé. “Well, yes,” replied Kourtney.
“I just thought that you didn’t like him because he replaced Dad – not he did it, nobody could replace Dad – but that’s right why I thought you didn’t like him,” Khloé thought.
“It’s so weird that you had such a different experience. I think it’s because you were younger,” wondered Kourtney.
“I had such a different experience. But maybe mom had a conversation with him. Maybe your retraction taught her something,” Khloé offered. “So maybe it was a lesson for everyone.”
Kourtney said she and Jenner would also have shouted the wars, which led her to move in with her father.

“Oh yeah, I would be like.” I want to call my father “, and then he would like to hang up. We would cry wars,” recalls Kourtney.
“It was not my experience at all, it’s crazy,” joked Khloé. “You see, you can live in the same house raised by the same parents and not know, and have a completely different experience.”
“This is why I moved with dad,” Kourtney revealed. “I had no idea,” Khloé replied.
As for the way she is as a mother-in-law for Travis de Travis de Travis, Landon, 21, Alabama, 19, and her daughter-in-law Atiana, 26, Kourtney said that she had realized that she did not need to be the disciplinary.
“I am not the role that must make it a big problem,” said Kourtney about parental adolescents and fine childhoods for adults … “I feel like it’s the best way, I can be there to be favorable or really in whatever they want me to be, or as little as they wish.”
After saying that she had heard four years saying to integrate complete and mix a family, Kourtney said that she and Barker were almost there, celebrating their third wedding anniversary this month after their court wedding in May 2022.
“He said it really takes four years to feel like they are all on the same boat and really a family and do it together,” said Kourtney. “But I remember the times when it didn’t feel that.” Or it’s like, “your squad against me” or “we do things that way and you do things that way.” “”
“There is a year left,” she joked.
